Live Oasis Monetization / Directory of Clean

Reframing and monetizing an existing water directory (live-oasis.com) by un-paywalling the core data to build SEO, then expanding into a 'directory of clean' products/services. Monetization would come from backend services like affiliate sales for filters, lead generation for water testing/softening systems, or selling leads to premium water delivery services.

Why now

Strong and growing trend around 'clean' living and products ('clean is our generation's version of low fat'), increased awareness of toxins/microplastics in water.

Market gap
